I initially thought it was a jake brake, or governor of some sort, then realized it's the prototype of the very first self-powered card shuffler device......

Correct, but what type of aircraft? work



OK, Here is my guess: Holley variable venturi carb off of a B-25 Bomber. Model 1685












We have a winner!

Not that there's actually any prize other than people seeing that you know some stuff about vintage war planes.

Tom told me that it's a carb off of a B-25 Bomber.

Good deal! My favorite twin is a B25. I am too young to have been around these the first time ( I am 38) but I LOVE WWII stuff. Thanks for the challenge!

Fun contest. I knew it was aero but that was as close as I could come.
I know of some old guys north of St. Louis who might be interested in that carb. whistling grin

We had a bonfire Friday night and had some people out for it.

That's when Tom brought it out, one of the other people that was here Bill M. "HrtBrkr" saw it and really wanted to buy it and Tom said that it's already sold to a buddy from Kansas.

I'm delivering it and a set of 426 Hemi valve covers to the guy since we'll both be at MoKan for Mopars Invade MoKan next Saturday.

I just had to share pics, I thought it was pretty cool.

The quality and engineering of the carb are amazing when you consider it's from the 1940's.
!940's car parts aren't even in the same category as the aviation stuff for quality from back then.

My favorite was the B-26, with the big props it looked like it was "hot rodded" to me.

I thought it was for one of these when I first saw it.

Yes it was Jed Scott that I was delivering the B-25 carb, Hemi valve covers and boat motor mount brackets to.

When Tom dropped it off it that box was in another box and I didn't realize that it was still in the original Holley box.
That was cool too.
